Another great interview with Ian Burrell. We can’t wait to try Equiano! .......... Posted @withregram • @bartenderatlarge It is hard to find anyone else in the spirits business who has done more for the modern rum renaissance then Global Rum Ambassador, @TheRumAmbassador. For over 20 years, he has travelled the globe visiting distilleries, and educating bartenders and rum aficionados. In addition, he is also the founder of @UKRumfest, one of the industry's most prestigious spirits festivals, as well as co-founder of his very own rum, @EquianoRum. So click the LINK IN BIO to tune in and get schooled on what it is like to live a life in dedicated to premium rum. #rum #rumambassador #ianburrell #equiano

Very well said! We agree 100% ...@withregram • @jochen_hirschfeld Life is change. And to be able to grow we always need to listen and learn. Tiki pop culture started for me with an innocent love for Oceania. And „innocent" often also means naïve and superficial. That is ok if you are open and willing to explore further. In 2004 I started filming my Tiki Pop documentary. We went to the Pacific Islands first, New Zealand, Fiji, Cooks Islands, Tahiti and Hawaii. Early on I realized that this was an odd approach. The „Tiki“ I was trying to document has almost nothing to do with the Pacific islands. Many people I interviewed shook their heads and wondered what I was doing. I am very thankful for their patience and guidance that helped me to learn more about the real history and culture of Oceania. Today, on the wings of the cocktail revival, Tiki Pop is making a big comeback…but also a very superficial one. Often the cartoony reduction to beach, fun and hula-girls is all that is used to sell some rum. Whenever I read an „highbrow“ magazine article on Tiki the word „Kitsch“ makes me cringe. It used to make me mad but recently I have to admit that there is some truth to it. The mainstream interpretation of Tiki pop is often kitschy and superficial. I understand that a friend from Tonga or Tahiti would have mixed feelings. Tiki pop culture prides itself as a culture of „Aloha“, an open and welcoming community. Even though I have always experienced it like that I am realizing that not everybody feels equally comfortable and welcomed in this fantasy mesh-up that is being served. So it is time for change, time to listen and learn…This is a great opportunity to really revive Tiki Pop culture into something that is from the present day, that is alive, inclusive and enjoyed by many. Revivals that just heat up nostalgia fade fast. It will be exciting to see how this genre can evolve… leaving kitsch, plastic and all limiting cliches behind. I am confident that there is a heart in tiki pop culture, an underlying concept that can be transformed into something classy and fresh. So let’s learn more and appreciate more. #tiki #tikipop #tikitikitangata #nokitsch #tikibar #tikihistory

Posted @withregram • @tradervicsworldwide Trader Vic’s Zoom Meet up with Heather and Ken Pleasant of Pleasant Tiki Thursday, July 23rd at 6:00 pm PST Go to our Facebook page for the link to our Zoom Meeting Meeting ID: 956 2201 7100 Passcode: 730143 Ken and Heather Pleasant are a husband and wife team who continue the family business that is Witco Decor. View their art here: www.pleasanttiki.com Ken was trained by Heather's grandfather, William Westenhaver, in the art of chainsaw carving. William Westenhaver was a brilliant artist and designer who presided over Witco Decor from 1958 to 1978. He passed his knowledge, designs, and techniques down to Heather and Ken, who today, create mid century and tiki style art just a few miles from where it all began over 60 years ago.

Some sad news out of Kansas City 😧 We hope to see @tikicatkc again in a new location in the future. #supportsmallbusiness #supporthospitality #tiki #tikibar #tikibars .... Posted @withregram • @tikicatkc After extensive negotiations with the landlord, we were not able to come to a mutual agreement on the terms of our lease. TikiCat will not be reopening in its current location. We hope to find a new location and reopen at some point in the future, although the timing is uncertain. Until then, we will keep our amazing customers and employees in our thoughts and in our hearts. Without them, TikiCat would never have become such a special place. Hopefully we can resurrect it someday in a new space, under different circumstances.For any questions please email info@tikicatkc.com
